Question

39.37
-
35.75 show your work

Answer 1

To perform the subtraction \(39.37 - 35.75\), we can align the numbers vertically and subtract:

```
39.37
- 35.75
--------
```

Now, we subtract column by column starting from the right.

1. **Hundredths place:** \(7 - 5 = 2\)
2. **Tenths place:** \(3 - 7\) requires borrowing. We borrow 1 from the next column (the units place), making it \(10 + 3 = 13\), and the units place decreases by 1.
- So, \(13 - 7 = 6\)

3. **Units place:** After borrowing, the units place is \(8 - 5 = 3\) (since we borrowed 1).
4. **Tens place:** \(3 - 3 = 0\)

Now, putting it all together, we get:

```
39.37
- 35.75
--------
3.62
```

Thus, \(39.37 - 35.75 = 3.62\).
